Drawing Networks of Political Leaders: Global Affairs in The Economist’s KAL’s Cartoons
Ch. n/a. P. 673–681.
Golubev N., Vladimirova A.
Analysis of political cartoons as multimodal metaphors requires a complex set of methods and techniques to be incorporated into a research project. We believe that network analysis could help to explore the explicit and implicit meanings of this type of text, especially in a case of drawings based on world politics topics. To introduce our approach to building networks from visual metaphors and to demonstrate essential issues connected with its coding we have taken cartoons created by Kevin ‘KAL’ Kallaugher, one of the premier modern caricaturists. In this paper, our data consist of 50 images published in 2018 in The Economist’s special section “The World this Week,” which is dedicated to the most important events in global affairs. The main aim of our paper was to show a research design that allows us to turn pictures of political leaders into a multilayer international relations network inconspicuously drawn by an artist frame by frame within a year. We have also found that the use of multiplex networks allows to capture patterns of interactions in a very explicit manner and brings many benefits to qualitative research that deals with specific issues, such as Brexit or Eurocentrism.

The book contains new models of bibliometric analysis based on centrality measures in network analysis, pattern analysis and stability analysis. A distinctive feature of these centrality measures is that they account for the parameters of vertices and group influence of vertices to a vertex. This reveals specific groups of publications, authors, terms, journals and affiliations ...

Beginning in the mid-1920s Aleksandr Vvedensky, Daniil Kharms,
and Konstantin Vaginov became acquainted with the circle of the poet, writer, and
playwright Mikhail Kuzmin, and by the close of this decade, they became regular
visitors to his residence. The interactions between Kuzmin and the Oberiuts has
been sufficiently developed; however, numerous studies have shifted the focus to the
pragmatics of ...

The analytical possibilities of using semantic network analysis in qualitative research are considered. A scheme for constructing a semantic map and its integration with the results of the qualitative stage is proposed. It is shown that the implementation of semantic networks for analyzing qualitative data enables validation of conclusions. ...

Game-theoretic static equilibria in multiagent two-layered consensus/opinion formation noisy binary choice model are studied. Both layers in the model are complete networks. Each player is present in both layers. Agent’s strategies with respect to the layers are interconnected. General asymmetric, symmetric and antisymmetric expectation/quantal response equilibria are analysed. Phase diagram of the model containing various ...

It has long been generally accepted in Political Science that distributed elite networks, rather than institutions, are crucial to the functioning of the Russian political system. One of the important factors in the formation of such networks is ethnicity. Of particular interest is the ethnic dynamics in those regions, where there is no dominant ethnic ...

This study examines concepts as systemic elements within a conceptual structure, drawing on the theoretical framework of L.S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical psychology. A key characteristic of concepts is their level of abstraction, which reflects their degree of generalization within a system. However, existing classification methods lack a unified approach, complicating empirical research. The current study aimed ...

The present study is devoted to the phenomenon of gerrymandering on the example of US Congressional elections. The boundaries of US Congressional electoral districts were used for the analysis. The division of states into districts was based on census data from 2000 to 2020. Data on small administrative units (counties) similarly relied on census data. ...

In light of the “gardening” of the public sphere in autocracies, the question of how power is distributed in the media field calls for empirical investigation. We use computational methods of network analysis, topic modeling, and semantic analysis to test if the Russian media landscape is organized around the three “publics” as suggested by earlier ...

Entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) are regarded as ideal breeding ground for knowledge-intensive entrepreneurs (KIEs). Yet, as EEs are mostly considered isolated from each other and their connectedness is neglected, there is a lack of research on their capacity to attract KIEs rather than to locally nurturing them. Inadequate data has been a major obstacle to this ...

New centrality indices Bundle and Pivotal, were introduced to identify key vertices taking into account parameters of vertices and an influence of vertices to a vertex. However, the Bundle and Pivotal indices are constructed in that way that they do not take into account directly the weights of arcs – important information about interaction among vertices ...

The situation of deep uncertainty is defined by the absence of any statistical evaluations of the situation development. For instance, such situations may include events that occur for the first time. We use scenario analysis to model the potential outcomes of events affecting networks under deep uncertainty. Centrality indices are used to identify vulnerable vertices ...

Identification of central elements in networks is an ill-defined problem. Hence, a large number of centrality measures have been proposed in the literature. We present a survey of existing axioms, which characterize certain properties of centralities. We also perform a perturbation analysis of centrality measures in real and artificial networks. ...

We propose new models to find the vulnerable countries in terms of food security. These models are based on network analysis under deep uncertainty. The conditions of deep uncertainty affect the supply and demand of food, namely, carbohydrates of the countries. Under such conditions networks of the carbohydrate supply between countries are constructed. The countries ...
